>Can Marisa fly without her broom?

>Would she be surprised if someone "borrowed" it?

> She claims she can, but no-one has ever seen her do so. You don't know any normal humans except Reimu who can fly, and that's Reimu's power. [You've not met Sakuya first hand and heard rumors she might not be human]

> She would be surprised, but also probobly livid.

>What if we just hid her broom somewhere inside her house?

> You figure this may be appropriate, especially since Marisa put it in literally the only clear space, a sign that she may not be able to easily find it.

> Problem is, short of putting it on top of a pile of junk, which wouldn't be that effective, other things would probobly make a fair amount of noise.

> Steal a book.

> Still think the best course of action is steal the broom, leave before she knows we're here, then dump the broom somewhere.

> Suppose we could hide the broom in the chimney as an alternative. Or even ignore it. Though I think stealing it would lead to more fun.

We shouldn't steal anything from Marisa if we're actually going to deliver that message.

Alright, I completely forgot what we came here to do. I thought it was the Scarlet Devil Mansion book theft quest.

Isn't this why we came here in the first place? To bring back books that belong in the SDM and to prove(and surprise) Sakuya?

Hiding the broom in the chimney sounds like a great prank, but it also sounds like something that would make a lot of noise.

>Look for a pile of junk. Not for a towering pile of junk. A pile of junk that stands relatively low in comparison to the towering piles of junk that can be found throughout this house. That's where Marisa's latest illegally acquired books from SDM most likely are. That is, if she currently isn't taking a look at those books.

>Wait... have we seen a single bookshelf here?

> After realizing Marisa would be after your eye if you stole her broom; you decide instead to stuff it up the chimney. You shove it up there as far as you can, and have to fiddle with it a little to make it not fall down, then it sticks.

> Yes, you need a different exit, you can't fly back up the Chimney, since you only fit while falling.

> There's the front door, it might be unlockable from the inside. There are also the windows, which you may be able to open and literally throw yourself through.

>Wait... have we seen a single bookshelf here?

> You look for the smallest mound of junk. There are several large, old-looking books on the top and side of it, marked with various ornate magical rings on the front. You these might be books about magic. However, you know from the Bunbunmaru that Marisa has been doing this for a long time. You would not be surprised if the books are booby-trapped, so you think it it's best to be careful with them, just in case. For all you know, the magical rings are spells laid in trap.

> And if any booby-trapped magic is loud, that would alert Marisa.

> You have not seen a single bookshelf.

I'm gonna bet that they have magic circles on them because they're those annoying books from EoSD Stage 4, not because Marisa booby trapped them.

>Which end of the pile do we think would be safer to pick these books up from, top or side? Even if they're not booby trapped, we still don't want the pile of junk to cascade all over the floor.

> You have a little, as do all youkai. As a young, weak youkai, however, your ability to detect magic is very underdeveloped.

> You can feel magic inside the books. The fact it's this clear means it's strong.

Marisa wouldn't trap her plunder, Patchouli would trap her belongings to try and dissuade Marisa.

> It's one pile, it just looks like Marisa unceremoniously dumped her latest loot on top of the pile and the side-books fell down. You won't cause a junk-slide by picking them up.

I doubt the books are booby trapped anymore since they're in Marisa's possession, but there's one thing that we should consider:

>Handle the books carefully. Who knows if they're sentient or something like that, they might get provoked if we are too hasty.

>Handle the books carefully. Who knows if they're sentient or something like that, they might get provoked if we are too hasty.


> Unless they are trapped when opened, of course. In fact, thinking about it, that might be what Marisa is up to, trying to disable the traps in the books. If there even is any. Magicians are weird and like to play mindgames, you know that much.

> You grab a book, and nothing happens. After you put in the ninth book, you accidentally knock a book over, one of the ones slanted on the side of the pile. This book's magical crest begins to glow.

> You think you can fit all of these marked books in your inventory, but that would fill it. There are another eight, including the one which has begun to glow. Of course, there are other books scattered in other piles, but you wouldn't be able to take them anyway.

> You fly over to a window and open it. It doesn't open far enough for you to get through without doing a somewhat acrobatic maneuver for you: effectively tossing your folded self out of the window on your side. This is basically the equivalent of doing a sideways jump blindfolded for you. Being able to fold up has it's advantages [You can fit through gaps others can't], but it has downsides too.

>Just jump through the window.

> You take a flying start, before hurling yourself through the window.

> You open yourself up, before you see a bright light coming from the windows and hear a very loud, disorienting chimeing, the sort that makes your ears hurt and makes you imbalanced, although you have no ears to speak of. It seems the book was trapped with a disorientaton hex or something similar.

> You think Marisa heard that.

>Background: do we know Yuuka and/or Raiko?

> Yuuka: Only through the horror stories told about her by the Bunbunmaru. You're not sure how much of that is Aya exaggerating.

> Raiko: You've never met her; but with what you've heard about the whole mallet incident and all those fellow Tsukumogami; you consider her like an older big sis who you've never met. You know she usually lives in the sky; and can easily be found in the middle of a lighting storm cloud, when there is one. Unfortunately; you've never quite got the courage to fly into a stormcloud yet.

You also know she's unusually strong for a Tsukumogami. Apparently it's because she moved her spirit from one drum to another, one from the outside world. She's strong to the degree she apparently gave Reimu a hard fight; and can use her power to make things follow a rhythm. According to an interveiw with Aya she had after hosting a concert recently, she apparently is skilled in using her power to control lightling; in the same way legends say the Raijin beats on his drums. You guess Raiko would apply that to other things as well, but thinking about that is somewhat scary. Lightling is bad enough.

>Look behind to see if anyone is following us.

> No-one is following you. You still very faintly hear the alarm-like sound of Patchouli's book. It seems Marisa has not yet managed to turn it off.
